معرفی
Lena A. Jäger is an Associate Professor in Digital Linguistics at the School for Transdisciplinary Studies, University of Potsdam. Her research focuses on computational linguistics, eye tracking, and machine learning applications in language processing. She leads the Digital Linguistics group, supervising 11 PhD students and contributing to interdisciplinary projects like the MultiplEYE corpus initiative. Her work bridges cognitive science and AI, with key contributions to eye movement analysis, biometric identification, and LLM interpretability.
Her research interests span eye tracking in reading, linguistic predictability modeling, and the alignment of language models with human cognition. Notable achievements include developing the pymovements toolkit for eye movement data processing and pioneering studies on detecting alcohol inebriation via gaze analysis. Awards include best paper honors at ETRA 2023 and 2024.
Recent work explores generative models (ScanDL) for synthetic eye movement generation, cross-lingual reading behavior analysis, and fairness in biometric systems. She advises on AI ethics through the DSI initiative and collaborates internationally on projects like the MECO corpus.
